Conklin GT-7

I'm currently thinking of selling my 7-string and my 4-string to get a fretted wine red Conklin GT-7.
So my question is, is a Conklin GT-7 a nice bass ? And what about slapping issues, I know that they have a quite tight spacing.
Hope you can help me

actually, silverstar, they have a fairly average to wide spacing, imo. definitely not that tight - not as tight as my custom conklins. should be no problem to slap on, as long as your technique is good and clean. .

and yeah, they are very nice, quite a bargain for the money

I don't own a GT-7.. however I was able to play one awhile back.. and I will say that while I wasn't playing exactly solid on the 7-string beast, it wasn't that hard to play... slapping wasn't to bad on it either.. but will you be slapping on a fretless bass???

for it's quality and price it would be the best first for anyone venturing into the world of the seven string.and as far as string spacing its not to tight and its not to wide.for me a very comfortable bass.it would seriously be worth checking out.
